We had a wonderful stay and loved this place for a weekend getaway! The property was comfortable, relaxing, and conveniently located near so many great spots, including Grandfather Winery and Old Hampton BBQ. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again!

This beautiful home was clean, well equipped, family friendly with a game room and hot tub. The king size beds and living room couch and recliner were very comfortable. Being a pet friendly place was a plus as well! Day outings to Grandfather Mountain, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Boone, Blowing Rock, Linville Falls and Cavern, Breweries & Wineries were just minutes away. We will be back!
